Melee Skill Tree

The Melee Skill Tree is tied to how many Jade Statues you find and return to the martial arts school in North Point. It's recommended that you focus on the lower branch to unlock the Leg Breaker first, then you can focus on either branch thereafter.

Remember, you can get all but three of these statues once the positions of them are known. See the Jade Statue page for details.
